Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Full Zip Gilet is a versatile, performance-oriented layer designed for active adults who need protection from the elements without sacrificing mobility. Featuring a blend of Extol Stretch and Micro Poplin fabric, this gilet offers a water-repellent finish and a flexible fit, making it an ideal choice for outdoor adventures, hiking, or everyday layering. While it provides excellent core warmth and storage utility, it is designed primarily as a mid-layer or light outer shell, meaning it lacks the heavy insulation required for extreme arctic temperatures.

FAQs
Is the Regatta Full Zip Gilet waterproof?
It features a water-repellent finish, which is ideal for light showers, but it is not classified as fully waterproof for heavy, prolonged rain.
Can I add my company logo to this gilet?
Yes, the gilet features internal embroidery access points specifically for customization.
How should I wash this garment?
Machine wash at a low temperature using a gentle cycle. Avoid fabric softeners to protect the fabric's technical properties.
What is Extol Stretch?
Extol Stretch is a high-performance fabric technology designed for high-energy activities, providing both durability and a flexible fit.
Does this gilet provide insulation?
It provides moderate core warmth suitable for transitional seasons or as an active mid-layer, but it is not a heavy-duty insulated piece.
Is the size fit standard?
The gilet follows standard sizing; however, since it is a technical piece intended for layering, you may want to ensure the size allows for a base layer underneath.
Troubleshooting
Water-repellent finish is no longer working
Apply a specialized re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for technical outdoor gear.
Zipper is catching on fabric
Ensure the internal storm flap is flat and clear of the zipper teeth before operating.
Garment feels damp after light rain
Check if the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating needs refreshing or if the garment requires cleaning to remove dirt/oils that mask the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the water-repellent finish, ensure you follow the care label instructions provided with the garment. Generally, it should be machine washed on a cool, gentle cycle with non-biological detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can degrade the water-repellent treatment. The gilet is highly compatible with other Regatta technical wear, acting as a flexible core layer that fits easily beneath a heavier waterproof jacket if necessary. For customization, the embroidery access points are located discreetly to ensure a clean finish without compromising the garment's integrity.
